Applications for our 2026 graduate intake is now open for Auckland!

Johnstaff is seeking final year students within Building & Construction, Project Management, Civil Engineering & Architecture who are wanting to kickstart their career within the industry.

Our Project Management Graduate program runs for 12 months in an office-based Project role. This means that our graduates gain hands-on, client-side experience on a wide variety of projects and initiatives. 

The program is designed so that graduates get real exposure to the client-side across multiple sectors - including Health, Education, Research, Aged Care, Justice, Transport, Commercial, and Residential.

This includes learning how to:

  • deliver the best investment outcomes for clients
  • deliver the best value outcomes - whether that's savings, efficiencies, speed of completion or social benefits
  • identify and solve business problems
  • minimise risk, and
  • make sure that the systems and infrastructure we design work when they're used.

The program includes structured learning outcomes focused on:

  • Project administration including the facilitation, reporting and analysis of projects
  • Cost management and processes involved in controlling project costs
  • Project procurement consultant engagement, and
  • Project programming and status reporting.

All graduates will have a dedicated buddy, and work within a team-orientated culture and supportive environment. Importantly, we offer our graduates permanent positions from day one.
